Laura once had aniuent beau
Who called twice fortnight, so,
Now she sits, Sunday eve.
All lonely to grieve,
oh, where is her recreant beau,
And why did he leave Laura sO1
Why, he saw that Laura was anguish
ing, delicate girl, subject to sick headaches,
sensitive nerves and uncertain tempers;
and knowing what a lifelong trial Is a fret
full, sickly wife, he transferred his atten-
tons to her cheerful, healthy cousin, Ellen.
The secret is that Laura's health and
strength are Slapped by chronic weakness,

 The chain of train robberies, which occurred one fast following the other, wBs broken equarely in two when the Fl Paso train Tobb.ry WAS attempted and this city will be credited ia history with having put a summary end to B gang of despersdoes whose crimes are more nu- merous and darker than the darkest nights. Another nrrest vas made in this city last evening by Deputy United States Marshal Rcss. ore of the most energetic officers that ever lived. He has been in watch of his prey for several days.
 The man arrested is Wn. Joseph Wright, but he wss registered and stop ping st the VendOme hotel under the nsIne of "W. J. Wilson, San Antonio. Texas" He did not come from San An NODtCt nOhCFcfs bAt iAO-- -NSAfSOS D AAtSA- TOT, where he had been working for the International railroad since the trsin rob5sries in Arizona, aud Ross has been expecting him to come up every day. He came yesterday morning on the Mex ican Central and applied for position on the road at the Psso del Norte depo'. But he unfortunately came over on this side of the river. Wright IS charged by indictment at Tucson, with being sc- cessory in the train robbery in which Smart is implicated. Ross arrested hIm on 6 warrant charging that offensC.

Hot Weather PhIlosonhx.

New Workers ought to be more thankful than they usually arc for the climate in which they live. Even the somewhat torrid heat of the present kind of summer weather is not without it's advantages, and when the en- forced city residents let everything 20, as it were, like yacht in a squall, and pant and perspire, hat in hand, and with west apart to catch Heavens blessed breeze,n after the manner of Hoods Eugene Aram, philosophy will still make life worth living. For do but consider what happens to the unfortunatas who live in what is called an equable climate, where one can baSk in the sameness of the temperature every day for nine months in the year, and only light umbrella is needed the other three months. Is it not notorious that the residents In such countries never amount to anything; that they gradually lose all their energies, just as the bees cease making honey under like circumstances; that not being compelled to rustic" they be- come indolent, unambitious, lotos caters, in a word Their descendants in the third gener- Gtion are fully developed loafers. and thence forward the fate of the race Is sealed.
 Tho truth is that poor humanity ls SO in- herently lazy as to need the spur perpetuaIly, and there is no stimulus so strong and surs as that of climate. Here we have our sum mer as well as our winter tonics When the blizzard is not blowing and the snow showing and the ice congealing and everybody being nipped and stung into activity, the sun C heating up the air and extracting the moist ure from the ocean and the soil. and saturst- ing the lower strata of the atmosphere there with, and so producing a modified Turkish bath, into which the community s plunged with enlivenipg egecta New York Tribuna

Curiou- Story of nn Inrnn,nr-

They tell a curious story of old Chris topher Meyer, who WIS more or less with Ives. Many years ago he was a work mnn in factory where rubber shoes were made He received the fabulous sum of Sl.20 a day. At night he worked out the details of an invention for ecOnomizing in the number of men employed in the fac- tory. One day he finished his machine, carried lt to the shop and showed his boss how well 1t would do the work Of dozen or twenty men. The boss was thunder struck, but before he could examine the Invention Meyer seized a big hammer and Knocked It's delicate machinery into chaos.

Collecting Fine HinIIn.

In an office building on Union square are the quarters of a dealer who sells the finest and cnStlicst old viollns that are sold in AmericG. Amateurs who collect old fddles know him well, and enormous prices arc paid by them for the instru- mauts he makes a speciality of buying and selling. A man from the far west bought Stradivarius for g., ,JO0 the other afternoon, and in the course of his pur- chase played Q snatch of a tune on it. His playing WIS CxecTablc. l never heard worse from a street musician. l remarked on this to the dealer, and he replied, smiling:
 "The costliest viOlins belong to the men who have least skill in playing them. That is one of the curiosities of the trade. Those who collect viOlins are rarely master performers on them. They buy for the sake of having. Men who can play the violin do not invest fortunes in instruments. They buy as good as they can afford for themselves and do their best with It."
 This collection of fddles is, by the way, a curious craze. knew a man in London who had 1t very badly. He owned dozens of violins, and had each put by in a speciai glass case on the wnll of his study along with little book containing its history, written by himself, and the docu- ments that authenticated it. He also had a fine collection of bows. He would start of at an hours notice for Russia or America to get hold of prize violin, and the only tune he could play through was 'Yankee DOOdle," which is the easiest one to learn on the violin.

ARcmodr for Toothache

The advantages of employing injections of pilocarpine for tOothache are warmly set forth by M. KurzahoT in The Revue de Therapeutique. It is used in the form of a solution of ten centigraTs of the pilo- carpine to fifteen grams of distilled water, this being injected into the temporal re- zion on the side of the affected tooth In two cases, one-eighth of grain was in- jected, and in a third case, One-fOurth of a grain, the pain always ceasing permanently about an hour after the injection; in about the same length of time the precipitation and salvation, determined by the pilOcar- pine, also disappeared. In one case only, that of a man aged 46, affected with rheu- matte periOdontitis and severe pains in the ears. the injection of quarter of grain produced copious vomiting, cyanosis, gen. eral weakncss and drowsiness-al these symptoms. however, in this exceptional case, disappearing in about an hour and half after the administration of twenty drops of the tincture of valerian.-New York Tribune.

 nhttee Of officers. The inventor claims
 that this tent, the pole and pegs of which
 VIII form efficient intrenching tools. is
 easily carried, easily erected and alwavy
 at hand when required It is made in sections, of which each soldier carries m equal portion which, when packed for transport, does not exceed sixteen inches m length and six pounds fin weight The tent Is designed to accominodate my number of men, ten or twelve being a convenient number. The tent pole is Gn iron tube, made in ten interchangeable sectlons, each of which, when unscrewed, forms the handle of an fntrenching tool 70 which spade, pick or hammer can be attached at will. One edge of the spade IS curved and sharpened, forming a useful hatehet, while a sharp spike, used as 6 DICK, can be easily and securely affixed to one end of the tubular shaft or handle. A second tube, tapering into point at one end, and closed at the other end with 0 movable iron head, slides within the tubu- lar handle, and may be employed to Iengthen it, or mny he detached and used as a tent peg. In sandy soils this peg may be passed through hole in the center of the spade, which is then buried, forming a storm anchor.
 Every part of the implement serves a double purpose, and every probable con seems to be provided for Tn it's construction-eyent the tent hooks ere in- geniously mnde tO net as spanners. At ilrst sight the addition of any extra weight to the burden of the modern British in fantry soldier-who is seldom q Hercules would seem Co be an argument against the adoption of Mir. Howe's clever con- t-ivanee; but 1t Is contended that by dis pensing with blanket the soldier might carry his tent section without adding to the weight of his kit He would then be able to pitch his tent without waiting for the arrival of the baggage wagons, which are frequently many miles in rear of the column.-LOndOn Court Jour nal

Advice to One of the Men Who Are Hot
 Satisfied with This World.
 You are just as much in error, my friend, as arc the kings, princes, dukes, earls, aristo- crats, capitalists and monopoliSts you're talk ing against continually. You've worked yourself up into fever and chronic eondi- tion of hatred against one class of people. The mere mention of their names or anything concerning them Is to you what the red flag Is to the built irTitates and infiames you. The sight of man able to keep a carriage and riding in that carriage puts you in . temper. That Is bad for your health. IL pOisOns your blood, injures your stomach. weakens your digestion. Your food does not now agree with you because of the state of mind you keep yourself in most of the time. You've been so many years occupied in scolding and seeing grievances that you've trained your mind all on one side, SO as to sec nothing but grievances. You've been fight ing -ginnt wrongs" so long that you can't get along comfortably without some sort of fight or quarrel on your hands.
 You don't know what a state you're in, though YOu're on a mental drunk. Your paradise is only string of bellicose gather tngs and indignation meetings You can't feel comfortable unless you're worked up to an indignation pitch, and pitching into some body yourself or listening to hear somebody pitching into somebody else. You feed on this sort of thought It Is your mental cock tail You long for it continually. When you're without it you're restless and dis satisfied A Apeaceful earth wouldn't suit you You'd be miserable to see the lion lying down with the lamb and everybody's differences made up, and the capitalist and workman and employer and employed agreeing per. fectly and getting on comfortably together.
 It Ia not that you really want a quarrel. but because your mind has fed so much on this kind of thought for SO many years that 1t calls for it, must have it, and graves 1t ex- actly as tho opium eater craves opium. You've lived too long on what is unhealthy mental agitation. Smith, tho monopolist, may be the biggest rascal in the world, and turn A half dozen families out to freeze every winter; but if you keep your mind in a chronic fret and mad about Smith you're hurting yourself in body and mind. It Is that condition of mind you've kept yourself in SO long that makes you lean and gaunt Your face looks sour. You're feeding Jour mind on an un- healthy food all the time. You can't get on comfortably without the excitement this food gives you, yet the food is killing your body as much as too much opium or whisky will kill the body.

Some important changes are now taking place in the drinking habits of several great countries. China, for example, has just ordered lot of bottled beer for the use of the sailors who mn her lately acquired fleet of irOnclads Japan, not to be behind her ancient rival, has sent a professor of TOkio university to Europe for the purpose of ''sampling" the various kinds of beer that Germany produces. Thence he will go tO England, and on his return to Japan his imperial majesty, the emperor, will issue a decree tO establish beer as the national drink. This action is taken on account of the vicious habit of gin tippling which has recently obtained fOOthold in Japan. In England, too, the consumption of beer Is on the increase, whereas the British bill for liquor is smaller this year than it has been for a decade. In France on the other hand, the use of brandy and gin Is much more common and frequent than 1t was before the Franco-Prussian war.-The Epoch.
